Poker King - 撲克王 [2009] Country: Hong Kong Film Company: Genre : Comedy/Drama Director: Hing-Ka Chan Release Date: Oct 22nd, 2009 Cast: Sean Lau Louis Koo Stephy Tang Cherrie Ying Josie Ho Jo Koo Kama Synopsis: Texas Hold 'Em Poker is a game of luck, skills and wits. This game has taken the world by storm in recent years, riding on the excitement of gameplay where players with an unlucky hand of cards can count upon his wits to escape the claws of defeat. It's classified officially as a sporting event in some countries, and sport channels outbid each other for telecast rights of its international tournaments. Other more traditional games such as baccarat and five card stud poker look boring in comparison. If one were to use a game of Texas hold 'Em Poker as a metaphor to life, one might say that we have no control over the hand that life has dealt us. In order to override what's seemingly fated, one needs to rely on one's wisdom and the skill with which one uses to one's advantage. The World Tournament of Poker has entered its championship round. The remaining two players on deck are determined to use the result of this final game to settle an old score. The real life grudge match between Randy Cheung and Uno Cheuk has begun more than a year ago. Uno runs the Casino of a major gaming corporation. Just before his employer, Randy's father, died, Uno was given the keys to the kingdom under one condition. If Randy is deemed unfit to handle the conglomerate his dying father had founded, Uno can then fully assume the position and take over the business for himself.

I want to watch this also...and it just left the cinema in Australia...does anyone know where I can watch online or something?
Just finished watching this and I enjoyed it a lot! A pretty funny movie. I only wish that Stephy had more screen time.
louis acted so weird i couldn't stand him...but lots of eye candy in the film...Kama does look cute never relised how cute she was and oh yea stephy thats a given-inlove
same, i didn't think kama was that pretty before, but she looked good here. stephy was so cute and innocent in this! <3
I found this movie rather disappointing, I didn't really get Louis Koo's character! It wasn't as entertaining as i thought it would be, since sean and louis make a great duo. It just wasn't funny.
